predictions that working in VR will eclipse working on regular screens are about as valid as predictions about the demise of the book (more print books are sold than ever) rail (more tonnage moves on rail than ever) etc.

So just to recap the @mangomarkets situation:
-Hacker exploits Mango for $100M+
-Hacker turns around & offers to return most funds, if DAO promises not to pursue criminal investigations
-Hackers uses 32M votes from the exploit to vote 'Yes'
LMFAO you cannot make this shit up!

A bunch of very foolish people are screaming excitedly about "so-and-so is getting sued!" because of an *amended complaint* after a judge *tossed out* the initial complaint as completely having failed to plead any actual claims. Just so ridiculous.
